Introducing Portal to BTC @PortaltoBitcoin 

Bitcoin is the most secure, decentralized asset on Earth.
So why is using it in DeFi so risky and centralized?

It's time we talk about the broken state of cross-chain BTC and the project fixing it 👇

                <————————————>

The Problem

Right now, to use your BTC on other chains, you likely use "wrapped" tokens (wBTC)

This means you give your real Bitcoin to a central custodian in exchange for an IOU. You're trusting a third party not to get hacked, censored, or shut down.

This betrays the entire point of Bitcoin.

               <————————————>

The Solution

This is why I’m focusing on @PortaltoBitcoin .

Portal is a cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) designed for trading native Bitcoin assets.

No wrapping, bridges or IOUs. Just pure, peer-to-peer finance, the way Satoshi intended.
How? 

               <————————————>

The Technology

Through Layer X Atomic Swaps.

Think of it as a trustless digital escrow. The technology ensures that a swap between you and another person either completes perfectly for both parties, or it doesn't happen at all and everyone gets their original funds back.

No one can cheat the system.

                       <————————————>

Why It Matters

This means for the first time, we can have:
✅ True Security: Your BTC is never in a vulnerable bridge or vault.
✅ Radical Decentralization: No central party can stop your transaction.
✅ Native Assets: Unlock Bitcoin's trillions in liquidity without creating risky synthetic tokens.

                     <————————————>

The Mission Ahead

Unlocking Bitcoin's true potential for DeFi is the next great frontier in crypto. Portal is leading the charge.

Follow me as I dive deep into this project. In the coming days, I'll be breaking down the tech, the tokenomics, and comparing it to everything else on the market.
